What Is A Grandma?


          A grandmother is  a lady who has  no little children of  her own.
          She  likes  other  peoples'. A  grandfather  is  man grandmother.
          Grandmothers don't have to do  anything except be there. They are
          old, so  they shouldn't play  hard or run.  It is enough  if they
          drive us to the market  and have a lot of dimes  ready. When they
          take us for walks, they slow  down past things like pretty leaves
          and caterpillars. They never say "hurry up." Usually grandmothers
          are fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes. They wear glasses and
          funny  underwear. They  can take  their  teeth out.  Grandmothers
          don't have  to be smart, they only have to answer questions like,
          "Why isn't  God married?"  and "How come  dogs chase  cats?" When
          they read to us, they don't skip lines  or mind if we ask for the
          same  story   over  again.  Everybody   should  try  to   have  a
          grandmother, especially if you don't  have a TV, because they are
          the only grown-ups who have time.
